Batter up! To ring in the 2014 season, we’ll welcome Tom Gilbert, baseball expert and member of the Society for Baseball Research (SABR – the folks who brought you “Moneyball”), for a tour of the fascinating ball-playing pioneers interred at Green-Wood.
With Tom and Green-Wood Historian Jeff Richman, you’ll visit the monuments and gravestones of Henry Chadwick, the Father of Baseball, who invented the game’s scoring system; James Creighton, baseball’s first national star; Charles Ebbets, owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers; the great hitter Charlie Smith; and many others who played a role in making baseball America’s National Pastime.
